Long Black Train — текст песни (Allison Moorer)

(Allison Moorer/Doyle Primm)

I`ve been walking these mean streets
Hard concrete beneath my feet
Ain`t found a friendly face among the crowd
The city`s like a Christmas tree
A light for every dreamer`s dream
But it seems mine has finally burned out

Long black train, take me home
I`ve worn out my welcome here, it`s time to go
I have to face the music, this just ain`t where I belong
Long black train, take me home

I should`ve known I was mistaken
When I thought that I`d be making
A name for myself in Babylon
Though I`ve tried to do my best
The suit and ties are not impressed
So with what`s left of my pride, I`ll carry on

Long black train, take me home
I`ve worn out my welcome here, it`s time to go
I have to face the music, this just ain`t where I belong
Long black train, take me home

I`m gonna trade my guitar for a ticket
Then climb aboard and ride you down the track
I know I`m licked, but it`s hard to admit it
Maybe someday you can bring me back

Long black train, take me home
I`ve worn out my welcome here, it`s time to go
I have to face the music, this just ain`t where I belong
Long black train, take me home
Long black train, take me home
